To all, w/ m'nt it nifty flo/'teema- Beit y ownthat l, JEROME M.-JoLnMA-N, a citizen of the Ti/Tnited States, residing at Warren, in theeountyef lVa-rren and Stat-e of Pennsylvania, have invented new anduseful Improvements in @orner-Beads, ot which the following is asneciiication.

'llliis invention 'relates to what I shall 'for convenience term acorner-bead, intendinyiy this designation to include not only beaditself, which I shall hereinafter refer to as such, but clip to heassociated with th h/ead and to 'which lathing or equivalent' moansfastened. Thereare ordinarily several clips used inconjnnction With'abead;

but whether there be one or more they are so 'constructed that whenassembled in 'operative helation with the bead and when fastened tolatiiing or the like suoli bead Will be held 'perfectly uprigl'it in arigid manner, thereby to insilre stability-ii point of the utmost iin-In 'the drawings aooompai'iying and form- 'ing apart of thisspeciiieation I show a sini- 'pl'eforn'i of. embodiment of theinvention, 'which to enaliile those skilled in the art to practice saidinvention I will set forth in detail in the following description,whilethe novelty oi the invent-ion will be included in the claimssucceeding said description. y

Referring to said drawings, vFigure 1- is a top plan view of acorner-bead and clip oonnetted together, each involving the inventiony"and showing a manner of using the aa e. Fig'. 2 is a detail view inperspective of `a portion of the bead, and Fig. 3 is a like View of theclip.

steelbeingprefei'ably employed for the purpose, by reason of which tnebead can be readily made integral. The bead 2 is so shapedas to presentalong its outer side longitudinally thereof a channel, as 3, and ianges,as 4, diverging from said channel, thefflanges preferably havingperfor-ations 5 rinly in place, the plaster filling these perforations.The 'flanges 4 have along their outer edges inturne-d auxiliary flanges,as 6, disposed in thepresent case at acute angles with respeotto themain llanges 4. In this 6:1 of any desirable number to anchor the bead pWay lI produce a bead which is substantially tubular 'in torni and whichwill be very much stiffer than one Where the ianges 6 are eX-tended'outirard. In addition to this I provide by such relation of therespective iianges -4 and 6 a triangular way, in which may be fitted forsliding movement the ,triangular head 7 of a clip, (designated in ageneral way by 8.) There may be several of these clips S, connected withthe head2, although `I have illustrated only one of them in thedrawings. By. reason of this sliding relation thel clip can be easilyadjustedl longitudinally of the bead. From the'triangularhead 7 of theclip there extend divergent arms, as 9. The clip is made 'from astrip-of resilient material, so thatv I can readily bend'the arms 9 atdifferent angles to eachother and to adapt them to the position ofthelathing. p

It will be understoodf; that theauiliary ianges 6 are separatedffroineach other, and

through the space between the saine the arms 9 oi the clip extend in yai'ree manner, so that the adjustment to which I have referred can bereadily secured. The shape of the head 7 agrees 4substantially with thatof the triangular space ol the head bounded bythe flanges L and 6. Asthe strip Iis resilient, it is a ready matter to adjust the same, thisbeing accomplished by moving the arms 9 toward each other, so as toi'ree thenornially' solid relation o'lthe head 7 with the iianges 4 and6. When the arms are released, they move away i'roineaoh other, so as topress the head 7 in solid engagement 'with the flanges L and 6, andthereby prevent the clip from accidentally moving. i By form adjusted itwill be held in solid relation with the bead at several places, or, inother Words,'

6 serving as a mouth for the passage'v of the arins 9 el" -theelipj Fromthis it "will be evident that the outer portions of the sides ol" thebody extend toward eaeh other.

fa body, anda channel ,extending along the body, the `outer portions' ofthe sides of' thel body being extended toward and separated These outerportions in the present ease con; stitute the flanges 6 when. the bodyofthe: bead is made in triangular form. This, however, is not essential,for-l do not limit my-l self to any particular shapeof body, although IIind a body which is substantially triangular in cross-section as bestadapted for my purposes. .The bead therefore'is'oornposed 1n the presentcase of a body'and a channel extending along the body. The-clip has nomovement inthe channel, but moves solely Yin the body and lits thereinwhen the two parts are in Working relation, so that there is a bearing'For a clip close to the framework upon which the plaster is laid.

What l claim isl. A bead having a central `ehannel, and.

.flanges diverging from said'ehannel, each ol' the flanges havinginturned flanges along turned flan es.

A bead having a central channel, and flanges diverging fromsaid channel, each of the flanges having inturned flanges along theirouter edges extending toward and separated from each other combined witha re# siient clip having a 'triangularl rhead and arms, the head beingadapted to longitudinally adjustably lit the .space bounded by theseveral flanges, and the' arms .beingI adapted to extend throughthesp'acebetween the in- 3. bea for the purpose described having from'each other to provide a mouth.

4. A beadfor the purposel described coniprising a substantially tubularbody having a mouth along one side anda channel along the other sidecombi-ned with a clip having a head to travel solely/,in said tubularbody` said elip havin arms extendingijrom the head thereol`- an throughsaid mouth.
